Mama Don't Cry Songtext
von I Draw Slow

C'mon son you gotta row my heart is all at sea
C'mon wind you gotta blow my baby back to me
He rowed out a boy, c'mon home a man
I waited night after night
Feeling half of who I am
C'mon son you gotta wed now find yourself a girl
Maybe it's all in my head now or out there in the world
I dream of a boat, empty as a grave
Coming night after night, coming wave after wave


Mama don't cry mama don't cry, cry
Nobody gonna wipe your eye
Mama don't pray mama don't pray, pray
Nobody hears a word you say
Mama don't wait mama wait no more
Nobody walking through the door
Mama don't cry mama don't cry, cry
Nobody gonna wipe your eye

Cmon son you gotta reap now reap what you have sown
Cmon I gotta sleep now and I can't sleep alone
I worked you like a man
You were just a child
Growing cold in the hills
Getting old before your time
Maybe your Daddy was wrong now to treat you like a man
Now that your Daddy is gone I'm doing the best I can
But you rowed out angry
You were churning like a wave and now I dream of a boat
Coming empty as a grave
